I am listening to statements. One major question….Why the love fest? For example: Casey (D-PA) opened his remarks with…"I wish we had time to list all of your achievements, Mdme Secretary. We don't have time. I'll list just a few….". Some others before Casey also stated similar. This is not about St. Hill…this is about something much more serious. Hope it will not be dismissed after her appearance today.

It reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Quiz Show, when Charles Van Doren testifies before Congress and all the committee but one member fall into sycophantic praise and excuses. I'm not trying to be catty or mean, but I just don't see any accomplishments here other than she is the Secretary of State who clocked in more flying hours than any other. You have to go all the way back to Jame Baker to find the best secretary of recent times.

WI Senator hitting a bit harder…but, sadly more sappy praise follows…didn't catch thatSenator's name unfortunately.
- January 23, 2013 at 10:59 am
Sickening. Its like a cop arresting a murder suspect on the street saying "Sir, would you like to take a ride in my police car, please?…..Yes, we can stop for coffee if you like, on me!……Are those nasty handcuffs too tight?….." Why don't they just say this is a sham and drop it?
- January 23, 2013 at 10:26 am
Thank you for providing this, Keith.
- January 23, 2013 at 10:35 am
I am looking for her exact comment around 10:25: she got very angry and loudly said "It is less important today for why these four deaths occurred than…."but I didn't hear the rest. Anyone else catch that?
- January 23, 2013 at 11:07 am
She said something about it was more important to find the perpetrators than to learn the cause. I'd like to find the video of that too, as it didn't catch my attention until she got angry and raised her voice.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:27 am
Of course, she would, wouldn't she? I strongly disagree.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:34 am
Found the whole quote: To me, a HOLY MACKERAL moment!!
"It is less important today as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice and maybe we'll figure out what was going on in the meantime."
Tell that to the families of the four slain Americans

White House Says It Agrees With Hillary Clinton When She Said "It Doesn't Make A Difference" Who Killed 4 Americans In Benghazi…
- January 23, 2013 at 10:38 am
"…we didn't have a clear picture…."
They sure were quick to jump on the video meme!- January 23, 2013 at 11:43 am
That fit their agenda….truth did not with these guys! They had an election to steal…..
- January 23, 2013 at 11:02 am
You know America is in trouble when you see the room full or drooling lapdogs
falling all over themselves praising Clinton. They seem to have forgotten we
have 4 dead Americans and rather than find out who screwed up they are just
having a group orgy to praise Hillary. Well it's repulsive.- January 23, 2013 at 11:11 am
It is Lizzy. And, in fact, she has been one of the worst SS ever. She came in with zero experience (like her boss) and it has shown. The Libya debacle will go down as one of the worst foreign policy mistakes in recent history!
- January 23, 2013 at 11:40 am
Yes and they managed to blame Bush for the Iraq war. These aren't
even useful idiots they are just a bit shy of dereliction of duty and a bit
too close to treasonous(I have a low bar) behavior.- January 23, 2013 at 4:02 pm
Well, since Bush decided to invade Iraq, capture and hang Saddam Hussein, it is not surprising that people blame the Iraq war on him. He did start it, after all.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:05 am
So far,I haven't gleamed anything new from this at all except that currently ,the House is holding up money to the State Department and that everyone loves Hillary. McCain asked the tough questions but rambled on so much it gave Hillary time to figure out the dodge and deflect and never answered anything. And where was the follow up? Bunch of BS as usual.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:10 am
The doves will be released soon. A choir of angels will start to sing. The sun will shine as Hillary triumphantly leaves the chamber and waits for her "questioners" to depart with her for a luncheon at an undisclosed location.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:40 am
And the sea will part.
- January 23, 2013 at 12:37 pm
Yeah, her response to McCain was "well, we disagree, Senator" and that was that.
What a waste of time
- January 23, 2013 at 11:07 am
PS. I still think she had some facework done!!
- January 23, 2013 at 11:33 am
Blondie, if nothing else, BOTOX injections for sure.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:09 am
Please throw out all these politicians and put Hillary in front of a real interrogator. This slobbering love affair is sickening.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:15 am
This is why we need a special prosecutor….to get past the politics and drool-fest
I still say: I've seen better legs on a picnic table!
- January 23, 2013 at 11:17 am
YES Rand Paul has my attention! He's not mincing words…he's asking hard questions.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:22 am
That didn't last long enough….we're back to slobbering thanks to CT dem senator. (who, btw, will "make an excellent member" according to st. Hill in her response remarks. She is slimy.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:42 am
Was nice while it lasted these drooling lapdogs need to get a room. Yuk.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:52 am
She says an anonymous America is in "critical condition" as a result of the attack at Bengazi and no one asks "who?" or are there others who were wounded, but not hospitalized.
All in all, a disappointment in MrsClinton and her supposed questioners.
The Senators took this occasion to ramble, spout adoration for someone who might be the next President, and couldn't pick the one question and demand one answer: why did you and MrObama tell the public that the attack was caused by the Muslim reaction to an obscure video when you knew that it was a lie?. - January 23, 2013 at 12:12 pm
Am surprised she didn;t have a "reset" button on the table beside her. The questioning as 80% crap, nothing new learned. The media will say she held up well and the mean republicans offended her.
There should have been a laundry list of real questions to be asked by the committee and then they just start at #1 and go down the list. If they wanted to have a love fest, the start 30 min earlier and then off to the questioning.
This is just sickening.
btw Ron Johnson was the Rep from WI.
- January 23, 2013 at 12:33 pm
The only thing missing from the Hillary bon voyage party was the champagne. Rush mentioned that her campaign debt was finally paid off – today! More reason to celebrate! Now she is all botoxed up and ready to go in 2016.
- January 23, 2013 at 12:39 pm
Last night Sharyl Atkinson posted a bunch of questions on twitter about Benghazi that the White House refuses to answer. I wish some of her questions had been asked of Hillary this morning.
- January 23, 2013 at 12:53 pm
Why were we there in Benghazi in the first place? Was it to secure Libyan weapons for use in Syria?! Were the CIA there to recruit Libyan non-secularists to fight the 'holy' jihad against Assad? Was there involvement of the Egyptian Brotherhood, how much coordination was there between the attacks in Cairo and Tunisia? What's the policy or is there one in regards to the continuing spread of AQNA (Al Qaeda North Africa)? What is exactly going on in Yemen? These should be the questions these committees should be asking….
- January 23, 2013 at 1:09 pm
The Battling Bastards of Benghazi
We"re the Battling Bastards of Benghazi,
no fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell,
defending the country we loved so well.
It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the consulate, and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate,
led them to safety, and stood at the gate.
We called for reinforcement, but it was denied,
so we fought, 'n we fought, 'n we fought, 'n we died.
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
and Obama didn't give a damn.
Just two dead SEALS, who carried the load,
no thanks to us, we were bumps in his road.PJN
- January 23, 2013 at 2:57 pm
No wonder we can't get to the bottom of this mess. The politicians on both sides use this to speak for 5 mins. How about just firing questions like a court of law?!! The Repblicans ask the questions in their disortations,but won't shut up long enough for Hillary to answer!! This is maddening.
- January 23, 2013 at 6:13 pm
I agree. Questions were too long and not targeted. Hillary filibustered and obfuscated. Would be nice if we could clean house and operate differently, but I don't see that happening.
- January 23, 2013 at 3:13 pm
SecState Clinton lied in at least one point in her appearance today. When being questioned about the lack of Marine Security Guards in Libya, she stated that "Historically, Marine Guards only protect classifed material." That is an utter falsehood. Look up "Marine Security Guard" in Wikipedia. While protection of Classified is their primary mission, their secondary mission is "to provide protection to U.S. Citizens, U.S. Government Property, and U.S. Diplomatic and Consular premises during exigent circumstances." I have personal experience in this matter, having served as a Marine Security Guard at the American Embassy, Tel Aviv, Israel. On several occasions, I, and my fellow Marines, provided bodyguard services for the American Ambassador, Ambassadors at Large, and numerous other DOS personnel. We also provided the "outer perimeter" security for the U.S. Secret Service during Presidential visits to the State of Israel. As the SecState, and a (8 year) former First Lady, Hillary Clinton *knows* this. Her statement is a slap in the face to every Marine that has every stood watch at our Diplomatic Missions overseas. Many Marines have given up their lives while on Embassy Duty. What a vile, miserable, untruthful woman.
- January 23, 2013 at 3:35 pm
She just lied in front of this committee as well. She said the same thing about Matines not guarding personel.
- January 23, 2013 at 3:31 pm
All I can hear is Hillary 'what difference does it make'. It would make a hell of a
difference if it were your child or son or daughter. Callous and cold.- January 23, 2013 at 5:55 pm
It matters because our government was lying to us re: a protest over a video. Anytime our elected representatives, appointees and/or bureaucrats, etc., lie, it matters!
- January 23, 2013 at 6:43 pm
I've been gone all day, but now it saddens me to read the comments here. Apparently, except for Rand Paul, all they did was kiss me lady's hand. The only way we can get our country back is to elect many more Rand Pauls.
- January 23, 2013 at 8:07 pm
Julie, the platitudes from the Dems were astonishing. It was like a farewell party and they had no interest in grilling her. The Repubs were the only ones that provided any kind of interrogation.
- January 23, 2013 at 3:59 pm
She too is passing the buck or kicking the can down the road. Why aren't the survivors of this tragety part of this and asking some questions???
- January 23, 2013 at 8:05 pm
Hillary lied, plain and simple.

Tenesmus is the feeling that you need to pass stools, even though your bowels are already empty. It may involve straining, pain, and cramping.
Alternative Names
Pain - passing stool; Painful stools; Difficulty passing stool
Tenesmus usually occurs with inflammatory diseases of the bowels. These diseases may be caused by an infection or other conditions.
It can also occur with diseases that affect the normal movements of the intestines. Such diseases are called motility disorders.
Persons with tenesmus may push very hard (strain) to try to empty their bowels, but they pass little stool.
Common Causes
- Anorectal abscess
- Colorectal cancer or tumors
- Crohn's disease
- Infection of the colon (infectious colitis)
- Inflammation of the colon or rectum from radiation (radiation proctitis or colitis)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Movement (motility) disorder of the intestines
- Ulcerative colitis
Home Care
If you feel that you are constipated, try to increase your fluid and fiber intake.
Call your health care provider if
Contact your health care provider if you continue to have symptoms of tenesmus that are constant or come and go.
Also call if you have:
- Abdominal pain
- Blood in the stool
- Chills
- Fever
- Nausea
- Vomiting
These symptoms could be a sign of a disease that might be causing the problem.
What to expect at your health care provider's office
The doctor will examine you and ask questions such as:
- Time pattern
- Did this develop recently?
- Is it the first time you have had tenesmus?
- Does the feeling come and go, or is it constant?
- Symptom history
- Do you have a constant need to empty your bowels?
- Do you have abdominal pain?
- Do you have cramping?
- Do you always feel like you're straining?
- Do you have diarrhea or vomiting?
- What other symptoms do you have (such as blood in stool, fever)?
- Dietary history
- Have you eaten anything unusual or uncooked?
- Have you been at a picnic, gathering, or similar event recently?
- Other
- Have you had any medical problems in the past?
- Have any other people in your family or social group had similar problems?
The physical examination may include a detailed abdominal examination. A rectal examination is performed in most cases.
Tests that may be done include:
- Colonoscopy to look at the colon and rectum
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- CT scan of the abdomen (in rare cases)
- Proctosigmoidoscopy (an examination of the lower bowel)
- Stool cultures
- X-rays of the abdomen

Is Seattle too hilly for bikeshare?
Since the announcement of Seattle's forthcoming Pronto! bike share program, people have been asking whether the pedal-powered transportation can really succeed in a city this hilly.
It's a fair question: Not only will Seattle be one of the hilliest cities in the United States to install a bike share system, most bike share bikes weigh around 42 pounds and, to the untrained eye, appear to only have one gear.
It brings to mind less an image of carefree cruising than a sweat-soaked slog.
At right: One of Seattle's legendary downtown hills. Photo: Flickr user Shiny Things.
But, according to Puget Sound Bike Share Executive Director Holly Houser, the Pronto! bikes are being designed specifically for Seattle's hills. Perhaps more importantly, she says the way bike share programs are intended to be used may very well make the hill issue irrelevant for most users.
Houser says Arcade Cycles, the French bike manufacturer building the Pronto! system bikes, is modifying standard bike share bikes to help riders deal with Seattle's hills. Seattle bikes will have seven speeds instead of the standard three (the bikes use an internally geared hub, like your grandparents' British three-speed had) and will use especially low gear ratios so that pedaling is easier. Arcade's bikes weigh about 36 pounds.
Since bike share programs are typically used as a "last mile" form of transportation for short, inter-neighborhood trips, Seattle's hills may not pose as a big a problem as some people imagine.

"Bike share is meant to cover the distance between retail, restaurants and transit," said Houser. "Most rides end up being an average of 20 minutes and under 3 miles. A lot of those trips could happen on top of Capitol Hill on the flat part where there's lots of activity, lots of density. Same with South Lake Union, University District — once you're in the neighborhood, the streets are not that hilly."
Pronto! bike share is supposed to launch this September with 500 bikes in 50 stations downtown, in the University District, on Capitol Hill and in South Lake Union. Similar to existing programs in other cities, Pronto! rentals will cost $8 per day, $16 for three days or $85 for an annual membership. Users can rent a bike from a sidewalk docking station, ride it, then return it to any other open docking station in the city, allowing for one-way trips.
San Francisco is the only American bike share city with comparable hills, but its Bay Area Bike Share bike stations are clustered in San Francisco's flat downtown.
According to Ralph Borrmann of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the administrator of the Bay Area Bike Share program, the city has no plans currently to expand into its hilly neighborhoods, thereby avoiding the problem entirely for the time being. If they do expand it will be in the "easier to manage parts of town (with) more level areas."
Houser acknowledges that hills will be an issue for some people, no matter what. "At the end of day, some people are not going to ride up certain hills, but I bet a lot of people are going to like riding down the hills."
And when Capitol Hill residents bomb downtown to work and then take the bus home in the evening? The Pronto! operations team will circulate through the system and redistribute bikes so they don't all end up in certain neighborhoods on certain docks.
Puget Sound Bike Share is also trying to come up with some sort of incentive to encourage people to ride bikes back up the hills. Details, Houser says, TBD.

And let's not forget the helmet issue--which, I think, is yet another challenge for this system which the others don't have to face. (And our helmet law is again attributable to those treacherous hills.)
Posted Tue, Jun 3, 2:55 p.m.
No the helmet law is attributeable to our Northern European sense of prevent injuries rather than treat them after the fact. It's the 5ft fall, not the hill that will kill/injure your brain.
Posted Tue, Jun 3, 11:19 a.m.
Won't these bikes tend to collect at the lowest point in Seattle? if I have to go from the Ferry Terminal to Swedish I think I'll walk, thank you.
Posted Thu, Jun 5, 9:05 p.m.
If I have to go to Swedish from the ferry terminal in November, I will take a taxi, thank you.
Posted Tue, Jun 3, 12:52 p.m.
As a regular bike commuter for the last 28 years, I think it's safe to say Seattle is not an easy town to bicycle in. There are hills even when it appears flat, and there are traffic pinch points and bottlenecks wherever you look. You need to be fit and pretty gutsy, especially riding in and around downtown. The idea that there is some serious pent-up demand among non-bike owners and out of town visitors to rent heavy bikes for short trips in an increasingly congested city is another pipe dream that can only survive with massive subsidies...
Posted Thu, Jun 5, 9:06 p.m.
Seattle LOOOOVVVVEESSS subsidies. Especially if they come at the expense of commerce and cars.
Posted Mon, Jun 9, 11:30 p.m.
I can hardly wait until these things get stolen and vandalized like crazy.
Posted Tue, Jun 3, 2:53 p.m.
As a regular bike commuter, I'd say, "no it's not too hilly for bike share." If you want to go up the hill to Capital hill, you ride the bus silly. No one blames a skier for using the lifts!
Ride sharing a bicycle is not like owning a bicycle. You can leave it anywhere as Kieth mentioned, at the bottom of the hill, ride a bus up the hill, and pick up another bike at the top if you need it.
As for being subsidized, think of it as an extension of the bus system. Rather than stop the bus every 1/4 mile you get off at a bike station, ride the 1/4 to 1/2 mile to your destination. It makes the bus system faster because it has fewer stops, it makes it more effiecient because the buses don't have to go everywhere. It makes the commute faster because rather than walk the last mile, you can ride.
Posted Tue, Jun 3, 9:50 p.m.
If the system works the way you describe, terrific.
We waste so much money (e.g. Tunnel) that an experiment like Bike Share is great.
But I am dubious about the hills.
Bike Planning should do triage and focus on investing in bike infrastructure in connecting flat areas to flat areas.
Does it limit things? You bet. Ignore QA, Connect Ballard/Fremont/U District/CBD/SLU. Don't try to do whole city. Make it work well where it's plausible.
Gather the low-hanging fruit and that means bike infrastructure is for connecting (relatively) flat areas.
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 8:26 a.m.
You can't leave a bike "anywhere." You can only leave it in an "open dock."
"Users can rent a bike from a sidewalk docking station, ride it, then return it to ANY OTHER OPEN DOCKING STATION in the city, allowing for one-way trips."
So, if all the docking stations at the bottom of hills are full -- as it sounds like they will be most of the time -- then where do you leave the rented bike? You may have no choice but to take it back up the hill to find an open dock where you can leave it.
How much sidewalk space are these docking stations going to take up?
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 9:32 a.m.
Seems to work in DC. http://www.streetfilms.org/the-phenomenal-success-of-capital-bikeshare/ The docking stations report their capacity and they use a truck to move the bikes around when needed.
When you build a system like this, you have more docking stations than bikes for just this reason.
As for sidewalk space taken up? Probably less than you think, more likely on street parking space will be converted from cars to bicycles.
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 3:37 p.m.
Is the bike-share company going to pay for the parking spaces they use downtoan, as cars would?
Posted Thu, Jun 5, 9:15 a.m.
Car-to-go parkers don't pay for their use of the parking spaces. The city puts meters on parking so that you'll move your car, not to cover the cost of the pavement. They want you to have a spot to park and shop, vs park and work.
Posted Thu, Jun 5, 9:07 p.m.
Just like shopping carts, bikes will be dropped wherever people want to drop them if it's not super convenient to park them properly.
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 12:11 p.m.
Too many bus stops have been removed already. Please keep in mind that bus stops are also used by the disabled, elderly, and people carrying more than they could on a bike. If they reconfigure the bus system to accomodate the cycling minority many vulnerable people will suffer.
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 8:27 a.m.
Bikeshare is a stupid idea which will only encourage tourists on bikes to get in the way of everyone else.
What could possibly be the point?
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 9:35 a.m.
"what could be the point?"
To make the bus system more effiecient. See my note above about removing bus stops to speed it up, but place bike share docking stations at those stops.
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 3:41 p.m.
LOL You can't be serious.
With only 500 ride share bikes in the entire city, they are going to move bus stops? Surely you jest.
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 12:48 p.m.
It remains to be seen just how similar the Pronto! Program will be to programs in other, flatter cities. The statement by Ralph Borrmann about limiting the deployment of San Francisco's bike share program to the "parts of town with more level areas," would indicate their acknowledgement of the existence of gravitational forces will enable them to avoid the problem entirely. I'm assuming the special "Seattle" modification provided by the French Arcade Cycle Company will also include a small internal combustion engine to supplement the "especially low gear ratios" described by Ms. Houser.
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 5:12 p.m.
In Lyon, France, one of the cities where bike-sharing started, they have a flat(ish) downtown surrounded by residential hills. What they do, to assure equitable distribution of bikes, is send trucks around to collect the bikes at the bottom of the slopes and return them to the hilltops.
Posted Thu, Jun 5, 9:08 a.m.
Re-location of shared-bikes is necessary even in a flat city like Antwerp.
Posted Sun, Jun 8, 4:34 p.m.
You all realize that Seattle is paying 8,000 dollars a bike for this program, right? Just divide the reported 4.4 million dollars costs by 500 bikes. This is before ongoing maintenance and trucks moving bikes around,etc. . It is possible to buy a decent bike for 100 dollars. 80 bikes, or more, could be purchased for 8,000 dollars.
It would have been better to simply buy a bunch of bikes, paint them white, and scatter them around the City; and have no organized program. The bike share program seems to be more about enriching corporate contractors than an effective bike share program.
If you have to pay, then how is it a "bike share"?
Also at 85 dollars a year it would take over 90 years for each bike to pay back the original 8,000 dollar cost. The Seattle bike share program is not thought out.
Posted Mon, Jun 9, 11:33 p.m.
I'd like to say that $8,000 per bike is a surprise, but not here. So which "progressive" got the no-bid contract?
Posted Mon, Jun 16, 3:25 p.m.
I have ridden in both Seattle and San Francisco, absolutely the best hills. I personally think that bike share is the best alternative. Let's get out of our four wheel vehicles get on with our two wheelers. We will all be a lot more healthier and have some money in our pocket.
Posted Thu, Sep 4, 8:59 p.m.
I think this prediction will prove to be true. The lack of hills in New York City makes the system very frictionless. People can bike all over pretty effortlessly.
Also, in New York City, the system is geared toward every day regular riders not the tourists. Why don't regular riders have bikes already? Because the apartments are very small and old, meaning dragging a bike up stairs since many buildings have no elevators. Plus, it is a bad idea to keep a bike outside overnight since it will be stolen. So yes, many residents don't have bikes. Citi-Bike is for them.
I think the experience in Seattle is going to be pretty underwhelming. Hopefully not as bad as the high tech toilets, which also had good intentions.

If you're a pro at grilling your own steak, then the Viet Hoa Mess restaurant in London is right up your alley. The Viet Hoa Mess restaurant is underground—above it is its sister restaurant, the Viet Hoa Cafe—and it features an elegant, albeit a tad eerie, interior design by architecture studio VONSUNG.
Viet Hoa Mess offers a 78-seat dining room with individual infrared grill stations on medea stone tables that have concrete bases, states the restaurant's website. The walls are sedimentary stone while the floors are waxed stone, and the lights are molded downward from the ceiling like drops of lava. The entire space offers a minimalistic look, which resonates with the whole "earthy cave dining experience," as the restaurant's site describes.

Forum post of the day: I need that for my PvP set {WoW}
Jul 17th 2008 1:59PM It's really sad that this has happened again. This is the exact reason I pretty much refuse to pug unless I'm absolutely desperate. I'm lucky enough to have quite a few toons. Leveling about 3 toons to 70 has gotten me quite the friends list. I just post them, and they come on their mains or alts and we burn through instances. I'm really hoping I can get a heroic MGT going and not have to pug it. I'm so tired of getting groups that don't know what they're doing.
Not so much for the Horde {WoW}
Jul 15th 2008 1:16PM Although I prefer the Horde, I really enjoy leveling on the Alliance side. The Alliance quests have a storyline! I got bored with the Horde(I didn't mean for that to rhyme..)and decided to research the Alliance. I leveled a NE Rogue to 44 and I loved it.
The quests were easy, fast, and led to bigger quests and other things that went along with the lore of previous games and explains more about WoW and the things going on in the areas in which you quest.
My favorite quest atm, would have to be the quest when you fight the mini-lurker below. I had SO much fun bolting between cannons, and watching people smacking it, and helping me out. I only wish the Horde had quests like that.
Most of ours are, "I'm angry, go kill that thing/those things." "You did it, here's some gold, and armor, now go kill this stuff." It gets tiresome.

Course Credit vs. Concentration Credit
Course credit counts toward completion of the general course requirements for
graduation from Brown. Concentration credit counts towards completion of
concentration requirement and the standards are higher.
To receive concentration credit for courses completed outside of Brown,
courses should be advanced economics courses, meaning they have a prerequisite of a theory course like Econ 1110/1130. More elementary courses
may receive course credit but not concentration credit. Often, business or
management programs offer courses that overlap those offered by an economics
dept, but they are not considered economics courses by Brown because they are
not taught by economist, and/or economic modes of analysis are not central,
and they will not receive concentration credit. The Transfer Credit Advisor
alone determines whether a course receives concentration credit.
A student may request concentration credit for courses outside Brown for:
1. Transferring to Brown
When transferring from another institution to Brown, there is no limit to the number of economics courses for which you can receive concentration credit. The Transfer Credit Adviser makes a determination as to whether a course taken at your former institution is a) not equivalent to any course at Brown and does not receive concentration credit, b) is equivalent to a course at Brown, is assigned that course number and receives concentration credit), or c) is not equivalent to a course at Brown but is sufficiently advanced to receive concentration credit and receives "unassigned" credit.
Note: to get credit for Economics 0110 (Introductory Economics), it is necessary to have taken both an Introductory Microeconomics course and an Introductory Macroeconomics course at your previous insitution.
2. AP Work Prior to College
You can receive credit for Econ 0110 if you have received a score of 4 or
5 on BOTH the AP Microeconomics and the AP Macroeconomics exams. See here for more detail. Note: for the class of 2016 and
beyond, placing out of Econ 0110 with AP credit requires you to take an
additional 1000-level course (6 instead of 5 1000-level courses).
3. Summer Courses
4. Study Abroad
We do not try to steer students towards particular schools (although we are happy to share if a university is well known in Economics). Since you may have other reasons for wanting to study in Mexico, Japan, or elsewhere, we try to give credit for any bona fide college or university course in economics, regardless of where taken, as long as it satisfies our concentration (or college) credit requirements.
We limit the number of credits that fulfill concentration requirement to one per semester abroad or three per year abroad.
Approval Procedure
A course can be approved for concentration credit only AFTER the course has
been completed and the transcript received by Brown. The student should give
to the transfer credit advisor. For more information, see the webpage of the Transfer Credit Adviser Susanne

Lightwave Logic Chairman & CEO, Tom Zelibor Provides Year-End Update To Shareholders
It is important for you to understand that in the process of commercializing our technology, there are various processes that we must master and I caution you to not misconstrue comments that can easily be taken out of context. For example, being done with the initial synthesis of a material does not mean we are done testing its characteristics and does not mean we are done with fabricating a device with it. Each device has its own particular specifications that can generate numerous engineering hurdles to overcome.
We are proceeding toward our goal of developing an all-optical switch using Perkinamine NR TM for an Intelligence Community customer of Celestech. We have submitted various white papers, however, certain issues regarding security clearances have prevented us from directly interfacing with their customer. That may not make sense to you since I have an extensive background in this area. However, pursuant to DOD 5220.22-R, Industrial Security Regulation (ISR), and DOD 5220.22-M, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), in order to reactivate my current security clearance, we need to be engaged in an active contract that requires a certain clearance level. This would result in the issuance of a DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification Specification for me. We are presently attempting to work our way around this obstacle to obtain the necessary clearances.
We are very excited by the commercial prospects here, especially after the Air Force Research Lab confirmed a femtosecond response time in our Perkinamine NR TM. As you may recall, Lehigh University could only determine a picosecond response time due to the capability of their equipment. This is 1,000 times faster than previously thought.
Patent/Personnel Update
US Patent No. 8,298,326 Tricyclic Spacer Systems for Nonlinear Optical Devices On October 30, 2012, the United States Patent Office (USPTO) issued Patent No. 8,298,326, titled: Tricyclic Spacer Systems for Nonlinear Optical Devices to Lightwave Logic. The claim in this divisional patent was originally part of a previously issued patent. The USPTO will not allow multiple inventions within a single patent. This is our third issued patent. Our spacer systems are an important component of our company's intellectual property and improve the solubility of its chromophores (dyes) that must be dissolved into organic polymer substrates. Chromophores are organic materials that impart light sensitivity to the resulting organic nonlinear polymer, but have a tendency dimerize. This term describes a tendency of opposite ends of the molecule to be strongly attracted to each other. Spacer systems prevent this from happening and are necessary for the polymer to be subsequently poled. Poling causes the alignment of the electro-optic polymer's molecules, which is necessary to facilitate the switching of light.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Three More Public Officials Plead Guilty To Corruption
POSTED: Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 8:45pm
UPDATED: Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 9:16pm
EL PASO, TX — Three more elected officials stood in front of a federal judge Thursday afternoon, and pleaded guilty to public corruption.
The investigation started more eight-years-ago, when the FBI accused many public officials of abusing your tax dollars.
Moments after admitting their guilt, former Yisleta Board Trustee Milton Duntley and former Socorro Mayor Ray Rodriguez emerged from a federal court.
Former El Paso County Clerk Gilbert Sanchez also pleaded guilty on Thursday. He is already serving six years behind bars on other bribery charges.
It all stems from an eight year investigation by the FBI into allegations that employees with "Access Healthsource," a medical insurance provider, bribed public officials in exchange for their votes to award contracts to "Access."
The US Government said in court that "the brunt of the costs fell on YISD employees."
According to federal investigators, when it came time for YISD to vote on a new insurance provider, " Duntley knowingly lied and stated "Access" was the committee's first choice," when that wasn't the case.
Duntley also admits he used a kind of a "cheat sheet" provided by "Access" to help him argue with other board members during their meeting.
The FBI says it gathered most of its evidence through wire-tapping phone conversations.

Two-story, 4,000 Square Ft. Store With Locally Inspired Design Elements And An Outdoor Patio. (Photo: Business Wire)
Starbucks® extensive product portfolio in its first store in Vietnam also includes its handcrafted Starbucks® Frappuccino ® beverages, Starbucks® Tea and a broad food offering boasting a wide selection of western favorites, as well as locally-relevant flavor reflected in items such as the Parisian Baguette and the Roast Duck Wrap.
As previously announced, Starbucks has granted Hong Kong Maxim's Group subsidiary, Coffee Concepts (Vietnam), the licensing agreement to operate Starbucks® stores and to maximize the growth potential of the Starbucks brand in Vietnam.
"This is an exciting new chapter for the partnership between Maxim's and Starbucks in Asia," said Michael Wu, Chairman and Managing Director, Hong Kong Maxim's Group. "I am confident that our Starbucks® stores in Vietnam will become a community gathering place in Vietnam. We look forward to offering the highest quality arabica coffee, handcrafted Starbucks® beverages and locally-relevant food in an unparalleled store environment."
The design of the Starbucks® flagship store in Vietnam reflects the vibrance of cosmopolitan Ho Chi Minh City and still retains the city's pride for its distinct local heritage. The magnificent space will provide customers new opportunities for discovery, a high level of engagement with Starbucks partners (employees), and a deep connection to Starbucks coffee heritage. The store features numerous décor items that have been sourced locally, repurposed and given a new life in the first Starbucks store, including the distinctive Starbucks community table, whose teakwood surface was recycled from a local villa, and an old 'ba gac' (bicycle), which was traditionally used to transport goods around the city in the past, now stands as a central piece of artwork on the ground floor of the store. The store also showcases wall mural designs created by local artists.
Starbucks firmly believes that its success is only possible when there are thriving communities where it does business. In Vietnam, Starbucks is committed to leveraging its scale for good to advocate and effect positive change in the neighborhoods where its partners and customers live and work. Toward this, as part of the store opening celebrations, more than 40 Starbucks partners gathered, at the "Vua Hoc Vua Lam 15/5" school, in District 1, on 30 January 2013, where they spent the day repainting the school walls and interacting with the students, bringing them immense joy and laughter ahead of Vietnam's Tet celebrations (Vietnam New Year). The 15/5 school has, for more than 20 years, provided tuition and shelter for underprivileged children in the district.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

wool blend knit
Oct 7, 2008, 09.18 AMby pinksalamander
I wanted to make something more casual, not a dress! You've inspired me! Was the knit difficult to work with?
Nov 15, 2009, 04.56 PMby craftdinner
nope super easy.. just zipped it up on the serger in 10 minuets and used self fabric to bind it, fold a 2 inch strip in half and serge to raw edge….
Nov 16, 2009, 04.26 PMby pinksalamander
Ah, if only I had a serger :(

Hey, how awesome are you and your creation! The ruffled sleeves with the elastic are such a good idea. So much more fun than the original. BTW, what kind of wall are you standing in front. Is that wall paper?

Blizzard giving StarCraft 2 players 30 days of WoW {WoW}
Apr 22nd 2011 7:18PM I currently don't have an active script to WoW atm, because I'm bored with it. I can't raid anything more than the occasional Baradin Hold because of time constraints and a constantly shifting work schedule with different start times and different days off practically every week. And I don't do arenas or rated BG's because I *despise* pvp. As a result, I've progressed my main toon as far as I can get them without raiding, aaaaaand... Im done until 4.1, possibly even 4.2. I think a lot of people are experiencing this as well, since raids are absolutely not puggable with any degree or reasonable chance of success, people are grinding out their reps, getting some decent gear, some purples from rep and then... quitting... because theres nothing else to do.

Bashiok comments on WoW's difficulty, accessibility {WoW}
Apr 12th 2011 7:41AM The current tier of content isn't quite as accessible as it was at the end of wotlk, but we do have to think about some of the changes that were made to the game.
If you were in a guild that could only field a 10 man raid in wrath, you could pug a 25 man and get gear a half tier higher and outgear the content for your role. EVERYONE did this unless they were in a strict "10 man only group" where they weren't allowed to use gear from outside the current difficulty level.
I admit that even I did that for every tier of raiding in wrath because my guild at the time couldn't field a 25 man roster but had more than enough people for a 10 man.
I quit that guild after wotlk since it kinda went BOOM with drama and such about a guildy ninjaing a raid lockout and getting a kingslayer with group of people from a more hardcore guild. I server transferred and joined a huge social guild (Taint) which has been a much better and fun experience for me, plus there are actually people online when I play, which is late at night, because of my work schedule.
Anyways, this served to make 10 mans much easier than they were supposed to be.
Imagine doing ICC 10 in ONLY gear that you could get from icc 10, with no 30% buffs, it would probably be decently difficult.
NOW - you cant pug a 25 man to get gear to help with making a 10 man easier, because you only have one raid ID for an instance per week and they both drop the same item level so it doesn't matter anyways.
Once we get the 4.1 heroics that allow those of us who are somewhat behind the curve to get better equipped we will likely see some pugs for the cata 4.0 raids (even if its only a few bosses in each one)
Patch 4.1: Blizzard unveils dungeon finder Call to Arms {WoW}
Apr 7th 2011 5:37AM The reason why everyone has a horror story about bad DPS in pugs is because, by and large the good players are in decent guilds where they do the content together (as full or nearly full groups) and the baddies are guildless or are in bad guilds.
Arcane Brilliance: The new and improved arcane tree in patch 4.1 {WoW}
Mar 13th 2011 11:19AM Im pretty sure Arcane is doing *ok* right now when played properly.
I enjoy managing my mana return cooldowns and such to maximize my damage output, and in my last BH 25 man (it's the only raid I do because I have to pug due to my work schedule) I was 4th or 5th dps at 15.6K behind 2 hunters and another mage.
In heroics, Im always top at around 13 - 14k. I think its ok. Could it be better? Probably, But im not progressing 25 Man Hard Modes, so I'm having fun.
Patch 4.1 PTR patch notes update for March 9 {WoW}
Mar 10th 2011 1:30PM Except that as a holy priest if you were not using chakra in your normal healing routine, you were intentionally gimping yourself, since the way I understand it from reading about the QQ that lead to these changes was that in order to be *equal* to the other classes in throughput you needed near 100% uptime on chakra.

Please select an Electrical Safety Sign category:
Most workplaces contain potential electrical hazards that could pose threats to employee or visitor safety. In fact, 250 workers died from workplace incidents involving contact with electrical current in 2005. That's 4% of the total 5,702 workplace fatalities reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.*
OSHA and ANSI Warning and Caution signs that remind employees of workplace electrical risks help create a safer work environment—and reduce potential liability for your business. In a survey by a major US insurer, over 60 percent of senior financial executives said that each $1 invested in injury prevention returns $2 or more.**
If your workplace includes electrical equipment, you may need to caution workers about battery charging, static and grounding risks, or voltage and shock hazards. Safety signage that reminds employees of proper electrical safety procedures can improve workplace safety and help keep your business accident-free.
Whether you're looking for specific ANSI or OSHA signs, or general or custom signs for your business, you'll save time and trouble when you shop ComplianceSigns.com. All our signs are custom manufactured in the U.S. from highest-quality materials.

I have a mystery. Both these are repeat bloomers for 3 and 2 years...and they aren't at all what they weren't labeled. Any ideas to their ID? Stripey is creamy-yellow. Reddish-orange has a nice white picotee edge (it is a bit droopey after getting creamed by a pot of Best Seller!). I won't even tell you want they were labeled or who was selling them until we get some ideas on ID...will bring a smile or laugh to some on the list. I think many of us got the reddish-orange... Thanks, Kristi |

Kristi, Could the first be Cutting Edge? It is not as frilly as shown in promotional photos, but I am posting a guess because you have me intrigued about the seller. Bill |
Bill, I got the bulbs in question in 2011 and 2012. Was Cutting Edge available in 2011? K |
What they were doling out for Cutting Edge is very similar to your first flower though and since we still have yet to see the real Cutting Edge, I suppose anything is possible. Here is my rendition of cutting edge: Donna |

Last week I was in the crawlspace underneath the bedroom addition and noticed daylight shining in. After picking out a piece of the loose mortar, I saw that there exists about a 5/8" gab between the original (1930) concrete block basement foundation and the add-on (1980?) concrete block crawlspace foundation. Someone had attempted to put mortar in the gap, however due to settling or concrete shrinkage this was now loose, leaving gaps or outright falling out.
What is the best approach to use to fill the gap? It's letting in a fair amount of cold, and is a possible path for rodents as well. I've seen some talk of polyurethane or semi-rigid epoxy sealers, but am not sure of the best approach. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Polyurethane caulking. |
Thank you--will get some and will try it out! |
I have used "Great Stuff" , its messy and hard to work with, requiring much prep and planning, but it works well and is very durable. But for a 5/8" gap, I dont know. The caulking is much easier to work with and looks better. |
- Posted by jennifer_in_kansas (My Page) on Tue, Nov 16, 10 at 12:03
Spray foam works great, too |
Foam backer rod and polyurethane caulk will easily fill the gap (backer rod is much cheaper then the caulk). There is no reason to fill more than a a small portion on each side. |

'Tiger Mother' isn't about parenting. It's about declining American exceptionalism.
The parenting questions Amy Chua's book raises are the questions facing the US. Should America be more hard-working and disciplined like China? Do Americans value free-expression and self-fulfillment too much?
Larry D. Moore/AP
Virginia Beach, Va.
By now, everyone has heard about Yale law professor Amy Chua's new book about Asian parenting, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. The book has been hotly debated in news reports, on-line, and in neighborhoods and PTA meetings across America. But I'd like to suggest that Ms. Chua's book is actually not about parenting at all. It's about something much deeper than that.
As a political analyst, I was struck by two ideas which appear to underlay Chua's analysis of the world: 1) the notion that there is no such thing as "giftedness"; there is merely hard work, and 2) the notion that the "third generation" is the one headed for trouble. These two statements are problematic for Americans, since they have implications for our own position in the international system as well.
In the international system, America has always behaved like a gifted child. Here, the child labeled gifted is defined as uniquely endowed with special abilities. He is intrinsically motivated and equipped with the potential for high level achievement. Similarly, the rhetoric of American exceptionalism explains the "miracle" of America's rise to power with reference to America's superior genetic endowment. America is described as "blessed" with a huge land mass, natural resources, good harbors, and citizens who are uniquely hard-working.
RELATED: Shanghai test scores have everyone asking: How did students do it?
But where Western educators embrace giftedness, Asian educators stress hard work and determination. Analysts who describe the rise of the Asian tiger economies do not stress unique endowments or gifts but rather hard work, rational strategy, and the willingness to forgo short-term gratification to achieve goals.

Rolls-Royce, Lockheed Martin highlight F-35 Lightning II capabilities at unique cockpit demonstration event
Wednesday, 22 August 2012
Indianapolis, US – Rolls-Royce and Lockheed Martin today showcased the F-35 Lightning II mobile cockpit demonstrator to employees, state and local elected officials, other stakeholders and news media at the new state-of-the-art Rolls-Royce Meridian Center.
Tom Bell, Rolls-Royce, President, Customer Business - Defense, said, "We are proud to provide critical components for the F-35 Lightning II, the most advanced combat fighter jet flying today. The Rolls-Royce LiftSystem® provides the vertical lift capability for the US Marine Corps F-35s -- the only technology like it in the world."
Danny Conroy, Lockheed Martin, Director, USAF F-35 Program, said, "We're pleased to have this opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of the F-35 Lightning II, the world's most advanced military aircraft, here in Indianapolis. Rolls-Royce and our other Indiana suppliers are critical to the F-35 program so it's important that they have an opportunity to experience, firsthand, this 5th Generation, multirole fighter's superior performance capabilities. The F-35 program will serve as the cornerstone of global security and will significantly impact the U.S. economy for many years to come."
At today's event, Lockheed Martin officials discussed the global security and economic benefits of the F-35 and provided a status update on the program. Members of the audience had the opportunity to "fly" the F-35 cockpit demonstrator, a visually and audibly interactive simulator that provides a realistic look at the F-35's performance, air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities, sophisticated sensor fusion and advanced computational capabilities.
Rolls-Royce manufactures parts and completes final assembly and test of the LiftFan® in Indianapolis and Plainfield, with approximately 200 employees working locally on the program. The Rolls-Royce LiftSystem also comprises a shaft, roll posts under the wings to provide stability, and a three-bearing swivel module at the rear of the F-35B aircraft, which twists downward to provide vertical thrust. The system, powered by a Pratt & Whitney F135 engine, enables the F-35B to perform Short Take-Offs and Vertical Landings (STOVL) required by the Marine Corps and other customers.
With nine supplier locations in Indiana, the overall F-35 program currently supports over $200 million in economic impact across the state. The economic impact numbers are anticipated to increase as the program reaches full-rate production.
